Users acclaim U-17 stars

The winners of the adidas Golden, Silver and Bronze balls at the
FIFA U-17 World Cup all received honourable mentions in this
week's 'Have Your Say' debate. Under the headline:
'Who is the top teenage prospect?' Macauley Chrisantus,
Toni Kroos and Bojan all received honourable mentions
respectively.

"It has been a memorable year and season for football fans,
and officials," wrote yemax007 from Nigeria. "But of all
the young stars and prospective players of the year, I prefer
Macauley Chrisantus, because he controls the pace of the game when
playing, he's skilful, intelligent and fearful because he takes
advantage."

Yet Olefreestyle was more emphatic in his choice. "Toni
Kroos! This kid is going to be the face of Germany. He already made
a big impact in the U-17 World Cup, and plays for one of the best
club teams in the worl, Bayern Munich. In my mind, Toni Kroos is
the best teenager."

Yet while Chrisantus and Kroos displayed their skills on the
final day of the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Korea, the talents of a man
who missed out through suspension did not go unnoticed.

"Bojan Krkic has been playing some great football for
Barca, and playing alongside some of the greats like Ronaldinho and
Eto'o will get him AWESOME EXPOSURE to become one of the
best," exclaimed gunnerfan from Hong Kong.

There were also honourable mentions for Giovanni Dos Santos and
Alexandre Pato, a pair well used to appearing on the pages of
FIFA.com, but an interesting insight came from
Exiled Scot, who wrote:

"I'd make honorable mention of John Fleck of Rangers FC
in Scotland, a young man who made his first team debut just 24
hours ago still aged just 16. Chelsea, United and Liverpool have
all tried to prise him away from Glasgow in the last 18 months but
their efforts were in vein. Walter Smith oversaw the development of
a certain Wayne Rooney at Everton, and he likens Fleck and Rooney
in terms of talent at the same age."

Certainly, all six names mentioned above will be ones to watch
as the future unfolds...

A player who was always one to watch was Kevin Keegan. In his
days for Liverpool and SV Hamburg, the England international was a
great entertainer - and it is no wonder that he is one of the
country's most charismatic coaches. But can he lead Newcastle
into the top four? You seemed to think the task was beyond him.

"I hate to say this Kev, you're a great coach but
expect a slight boo from your fans as soon as you lose two games in
a row. With Shearer or without, you'll catch the Newcastle
jinx," said JSP World from Wales.

JSPWorld seemed to speak for a number of fans who doubted
whether King Kev's return would be a happy one.
